Do you need to use Proctorio? This post from MiniTool Partition Wizard tells you Proctorio system requirements and shows you how to add and remove the Proctorio extension on Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Opera, and Brave.
What Is Proctorio?
Proctorio is an extension of Google Chrome used to oversee exams. It requires students to upload their student photos and ID cards, so it can better perform facial recognition. It will track students’ eye movements and body language, marking activities that might not be allowed.
In addition, it also records video and audio clips of students’ computers, captures students’ keystrokes, records computer screen data, and categorizes the websites they visit while taking exams. These data and videos will be sent to your instructor for review and he/she will decide if any action is necessary.
AI proctoring technology is not yet very mature. Some cheaters are not caught, and some students are mistakenly identified as cheaters.
